Name:
EVERGREEN Clematis X 3 Offer: Early Sensation, Jingle Bells, Wisley Cream. Year round interest for your garden, and scented too!
Description:
This excellent value offer is for 3 evergreen foliage and scentend flowering clematis. Easy to grow and provides valuable winter foliage to create year round interest and privacy. The collection is for one each of 'Early Sensation', 'Wisley Cream' and 'Jingle Bells'.
'Early Sensation' brings a totally uplifting feel to your garden or patio at a time when you need it most! Early Sensation has big, bold goblet shaped bright snowy white flowers with fresh parsley green stamens from March through to May and has the added bonus of waxy, very dark EVERGREEN foliage. Early Sensation is nothing short of perfection when planted in your conservatory - giving a maximum return if space is at a premium, as it is covered from top to bottom in several hundreds of flowers! Alternatively, with its hardy habit this non-clinging climber is just as happy scrambling over obelisks in the border or adding colour to your patio - growing to 5-6 ft (2 metres). The sweetly scented flowers, which start as hanging buds, as they open, turn their faces vertical towards you, and these are followed with very compact sparkling decorative seed heads - both flowers and seedheads contrast sensationally with the bronze green foliage.
'Wisley Cream' is an evergreen climbing plant that provides you with the lift you need with the dull winter days with its creamy lantern flowers. Small, creamy, bell-shaped winter flowers often tinged-green with mid-green leaves retained throughout the year. Clematis 'Wisley Cream' is a must-have climbing plant for your garden which has proved its performance with its increased popularity and sells out every summer. Clematis 'Wisley Cream' can be planted at any time of the year as the roots will quickly establish. This winter-flowering clematis is perfect for training over a pergola, doorway or arch, giving outstanding results in a sunny, sheltered position. Has the added benefit of being drought-tolerant.
Clematis cirrhosa 'Jingle Bells' is a lovely Evergreen cultivar and produces nodding bell like flowers during the winter and early spring. The buds and young flowers are pale cream, but as the flowers mature the colour clears to pure snow white. The stamens, which have lime-greeny-cream filaments and beige anthers are a prominent feature of these blooms. The foliage is a really healthy looking dark green, which displays the flowers to good effect. 'Jingle Bells' is a perfect name as it has usually begun it's display by Christmas, when the rest of the garden is sleeping!
For the first few years they prefer a sheltered position, however, once established they give a vigorous display with gorgeous perfume.
Clematis cirrhosa 'Jingle Bells' has been awarded the RHS AGM ( Award of Garden Merit ) for its oustanding garden performance and best grown on a south or west aspect. Does not require pruning only a gentle trim to tidy after you have enjoyed the last flowers in early spring.
